The bar that Ye Yuyan had chosen for his acting scene, was almost placed on the evening news due to the effect of his strong pheromones from being released. He got so drunk that he failed to control his pheromones and caused chaos. Before a riot happened, Hei Yuhua and the rest arrived on time, thankfully.

Hei Yuhua took measures to contain the chaos inside the bar and put everyone to sleep. When he spotted his lover inside the bar he went to him and almost couldn’t hold back beating his husband up. Who the hell told him to drink that much for an act.

“Drunk Pig!” cussed Hei Yuhua as he kicked his husband with blame on his tone.

Felt something hit him with force and groggily woke up. When he saw those pairs of argent eyes in his dreams he knew that this person was Hei Yuhua. At this moment Ye Yuyan thought he was dreaming about Hei Yuhua again after his death. After getting intoxicated with wine, Ye Yuyan thought he was still in the past. In the past, where Hei Yuhua had died because of him and he lost him forever. Only by drinking, he would see a silhouette of his beloved.

He reached out his hands and hugged Hei Yuhua’s waist to himself. The latter was pulled out of nowhere and could only straddle Ye Yuyan’s lap. It was such an intimate position but these two were long married, an official mate for each other, and even had a daughter, they are both used to it.

Hei Yuhua was used to his husband acting spoiled this way and didn’t stop him from doing so.

“What’s wrong, A’Yan? Did you drink a lot? Is your head hurt?”

At the first question Ye Yuyan shook his head, he nodded his head for the second question, and for the last one, he once again shook his head and then looked up to stare at Hei Yuhua whom he was hugging in his embrace with clouded eyes. He could even see a double of Hei Yuhua in his drunken state.

Hei Yuhua mumbled, “Okay. You are indeed drunk. Let’s go home and get you in the bath to freshen up.”

Once Hei Yuhua tries to stand up from Ye Yuyan’s lap, the strong arms wrapped around his slender waist would drag him down. A clear action of disagreeing. His husband doesn’t seem to have any plans of letting him go.

“Sigh~ you talk. We can’t stay for too long in this place. We can talk all we want at home.” said Hei Yuhua.

Ye Yuyan remained silent as if he couldn’t hear his words. He only stared at Hei Yuhua like he was some kind of phantom that would disappear at any moment. Hei Yuhua noticed that there was something wrong with his husband’s state.

Hei Yuhua held Ye Yuyan’s cheeks and looked at him from every angle checking what was wrong with him.

“Darling? What’s wrong? Can you recognize me?” asked Hei Yuhua but the latter just kept staring at him.

System Yang and System Yue who noticed that something was wrong with Ye Yuyan commented.

He seems to be in trance. Try slapping him awake.

Ugh~ that’s why I told him he was drinking too much. He must have recalled some memories of the past when he separated from Director Yu in that restaurant.

This is a bit dangerous. If he doesn’t wake up, he might end up getting confined in the past unable to come back to reality. But the past he is seeing is from a world that no longer exists. He would be trapped in his own unconsciousness and fall into a coma in reality.

No way! If his soul gets lost there his body, in reality, would die. Yuhua, slap him awake. You must wake him up no matter what!

Hearing the explanations from System Yang and System Yue, he knows that his husband’s current situation is not good. It can be said that it was very bad. So he didn’t hesitate to slap Ye Yuyan multiple times to get him to wake up.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Hei Yuhua continues to call his husband’s name, “Wake up. Wake up!! Ye Yuyan! Yuyan! I’m telling you to wake up. Darling, please wake up. Wuwu~ wake up already you drunk pig!”

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Hei Yuhua was already getting tired of slapping Ye Yuyan. Even if his husband’s cheeks were already swollen from too many slaps he noticed that he wasn’t waking up at all. This time it was truly frightening. So instead of slapping him, Hei Yuhua grabbed his face and started giving him kisses on his face. His forehead, eyes, nose, and lips but sadly there is no response. He was so terrified by the fact that Ye Yuyan would no longer wake up and his tears started to cover his eyes as they fell drop by drop on Ye Yuyan’s face.

“A’Yan, stop playing around in there! I’m here. I’m real in this reality. Wake up already, A’Yan. Don’t leave me alone here~” said Hei Yuhua who is almost pleading with him.

On the other hand inside Ye Yuyan’s half-conscious state of subconsciousness, the past memories were being played before him yet he could also hear the crying and begging voice of his beloved. The cries were getting louder and louder until Ye Yuyan completely left his hypnotic state.

Ye Yuyan looks around as he calls, “Yu’er? Yu’er is that you!? Why are you crying? Damn! Why am I in this place again?”

Ye Yuyan once again appeared in the space of a white area. There is nothing around him as the past memories he hazily got into faded as he woke up from his drunken stupor. That last time he came into this place Lord Hei was with him and he was also the person who brought him out.

But this time he came alone and there is no Lord Hei who can bring him out. Worst of all he could hear his wife’s agonizing cries coming from all over the place. The place he is in even started raining and the solemn atmosphere in the area had almost made him mad.

“Argh, ~ Let me out! Get me out of here! Lord Hei, can you hear me!? I’m back in the White space again. I can’t go out on my own! Please help me out!!!” said Ye Yuyan.

Sadly, there is no Lord Hei who can help him this time. Hei Anjing had been asleep since the last time they brought him to Chinatown. Ye Yuyan keeps calling for Lord Hei for help. He doesn’t know why he could get wet from this form of his. All he knows is that he is locked in here, his wife is crying for him to wake up and there is no one who can send him out. He even started screaming like an injured beast within that eerie white space. Ye Yuyan himself doesn’t know how long he has been in this place and where he is.

Just before Ye Yuyan went mad from not knowing what he should do, an aloof and unwelcoming low and deep voice echoes in the space. The tone is completely apathetic as if he cares for nothing in this world. He even sounds conceited as if he is the only arrogant being that there is.

“Boisterous. Who the hell are you to call this King’s wife!? Get out!!!”

The baritone voice was filled with killing intent. As if Ye Yuyan would be entirely swallowed by whoever owns that voice. What is weird is that the voice is coming deep inside his soul. Ye Yuyan remembered the existence of the sleeping god inside of him. But before he could ask the voice said,

“Fuck off! This King is sleeping!”

Ye Yuyan was unable to react when he gasped for air as he suddenly woke up in reality. His drunken stupor was utterly overwhelmed by the terror that filled his heart. His dazed golden irises instantly become lively after gasping for air.

The air entered the wrong pipe and he started coughing as a result.

Cough. cough. Cough!

Hei Yuhua worriedly observed his mate. He had seen him in a state of half-consciousness and there was only a dull light coming from his eyes. Suddenly he gasped for air as if a fish drowning in the water he cannot live without. He knew that something frightening might have happened to his husband and he couldn’t even control the trembling of his body as soon as he came back.

“Darling, what’s wrong? Are you okay? What happened to you?” asked Hei Yuhua worriedly.

The two systems noticed that Ye Yuyan’s return to reality on his own switch is supposed to be not possible for a mortal to do so. Just when System Yang is about to wake up Lord Hei to ask for help, System Yue suddenly shouted that Ye Yuyan had returned. When they went out of the system’s space, they saw Ye Yuyan’s petrified state.

He has even forgotten how to breathe. How humans are supposed to and almost died from suffocation. Thankfully, Hei Yuhua was there to help him calm his anxiety.

Hei Yuhua said, “A’Yan, take a few short deep breaths. Follow after me. Come on, you need to breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale exhale.”

Little by little, Ye Yuyan started to settle down. Though he would slightly shake unconsciously as if he confronted death on his own. 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

Ye Yuyan noticed he was hugging his wife who was seated on his lap. He tiredly laid down his head on his shoulder and allowed his wife’s scent to help him relax before he started talking. The other three didn’t urge him to speak right away and waited for him to completely chill out.

“I’m okay now. Yu’er, I’m sorry for making you worried. It’s my fault.” said Ye Yuyan.

Hei Yuhua forced him to look at him directly when he was trying to avoid his eyes.

“I will tell you many times. No matter how long or how frequent you wanted me to say it. If you don’t believe yourself just believe in me. I forgive you for what happened in our previous lives. Lord Hei that our life that time follows a script we could never decline so it would not be completely your fault whatever action you had made in that timeline. In this life, I will believe everything you do and say. Just continue staying by mine and our daughter’s side. I am your wife and official mate. It is my responsibility to stand by your side.”

“Do you understand? If not I will repeat the words no matter how many times. I will not stop until you accept the fact that you are different from the past self.”

Every word Hei Yuhua had told Ye Yuyan had come from his heart. The past life where he had chosen not to do anything would happen again. How many chances had been missed because he had thought twice? The misunderstandings between them were even manmade even so he had never even once cleared up any of those which lead to Ye Yuyan hating him unconditionally and also the reason which lead to both of their miseries.

Ye Yuyan realized that even though he says he wouldn’t worry about his past, what he had experienced would definitely affect him no matter what he does but as long as he decided to continue moving forward, even the past events would become dull pain in time. He should focus on the present where he finally got what he wanted which he had missed in his previous life.

Hei Yuhua didn’t expect to get his head pulled down by his mate out of nowhere. Caught off guard his lips were captured by Ye Yuyan’s, their kiss was aggressive at first as if Ye Yuyan was looking for something that would be proof that they are both here and together at the present. Only when they kissed enough that their lips crack and the taste of blood spills within their kiss that Ye Yuyan calmed down.

Ye Yuyan smiled and said, “I will move forward with you. Like the vow, we had made together. In life and in death, even death would never pull as part. My fated mated.”

Hei Yuhua smiled back and hugged his mate back. Accepting the promise and vows, this time they would be together regardless of what they would need to tackle in the future. They would always be together no matter what.

Once the couple calmed down, they finally got in the car to go home. Yun Jie and Lou Wei stay behind to clean up their mess and remove all the traces of Hei Yuhua’s arrival at the scene. They even used special props to erase a part of the memories the people in the bar had experienced tonight. They made sure none of the people including the owner and staff in the bar would forget the existence of Hei Yuhua.
